A lot of the ones in the past 15 years have been no great shakes. One of the worst that comes to mind is Mary Louise Smith, another “Affirmative Action” hire by Jerry Ford in 1974. She was on the wrong side of premier social issues: a pro-abort ghoul for Planned Infanticide and an ERA nutter. They’d have been better off hiring a real feminine icon, Phyllis Schlafly.
Davy, if you think we’re going to have 10 Barry Goldwaters come out of CA, I think you’re gonna have a long wait.
All I want are 6-7 flips that will give us a vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker.
Now, with the WI hold, the Van Drew switch, the Garcia win, we are that much closer to getting the House back.
I get that it will be hard, that we will have two redistricted NC seats to “get back.” But just as the DemoKKKrats ran the table in 2018 under very favorable circumstances, the Republicans seem poised to gain a LOT of disgruntled people over the lockdowns. As of now I give the DemoKKKrats a slight advantage in holding the House by 5-6, but it won’t surprise me if by election day the GOP doesn’t get a net 30 swing.
